“This game is a grest metroidvania, I love it it has some clear progression and somethings to save up for. overall a great game I would recomend this to a hollow knight or silksong fan”
“This game started really slow and boring for me. It is a bit unfortunate that it starts being good a few hours in. Only after getting a few Simulacrums it began to grow on me. I liked the progression system, the idea of…”
“10/10 art, music, exploration, progression, and combat. Very clearly a hollow knight clone but as someone who loves hollow knight, I'm happy with that.”

“A very solid Hollow-like with a big dose of cosmic dread. Despite some loosey goosey movement and obnoxious contact damage, it nails most of the tenets of satisfying metroidvania design. Not sure it needed to bite Team…”

“Dark metroidvania with beautiful postapocalyptic atmosphere. Exploration is fun and fair but bosses are overtuned after a number of patches so that the first two are very difficult and later ones (despite what you can…”

“At first I thought it would be just mid because every enemy had so much health and I really didn’t like the menu UI. But after playing it for the fifth time now, I honestly don’t care about that stuff anymore. The…”
“Voidwrought completely pulled me in from the very first minutes. The atmosphere is incredibly dark and the visuals are beautifully stylized. It offers smooth and satisfying controls, and a combat system that feels great…”

“It's a solid metroidvania with loads of collectibles, secrets and cool areas to explore. Controls feel a bit off in the beginning, but eventually you'll get used to it. Once movement abilities are obtained everything…”

“I just completed Voidwrought. 30 hours but I wish the game was 100 hours because I personally enjoyed everything about this game. Before I played, I read multiple disparaging things about this game. 1-I read that the bosses were too easy , and that was probably true when the…”
— a player, Steam review · 30 hrs played“Very good game. I initially thought it is just one of the endless HK clones, but it does manage to have it's own style in both gameplay and visuals/audio. The Pustulant Prince, my favourite boss, may his belly be always round and full <3”
— a player, Steam review · 110 hrs played“I was excited for this game, especially considering I've been trying more metroidvania games as of late, and the artwork looked interesting. However, the sheer slippery-ness of the game made it frustrating to play through. I'm all for difficult gameplay, but this felt poorly…”
